====== Booting via iSCSI ======

===== Preparing the operating system image =====

==== Fedora Core 5 ====

These instructions assume that you have an installation of Fedora Core 5 on a local hard disk.  We will make this installation iSCSI-boot-capable, then copy it to a remote iSCSI target and boot from it.

Start by installing the kernel-devel and dkms packages:

  yum install kernel-devel
  yum install dkms

The kernel-devel package must match the version of your currently running kernel, which you can check using

  rpm -q kernel-devel
  uname -r

You will need to install the iSCSI initiator, the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table utilities, and the iSCSI-capable mkinitrd, which you can find at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=177003&package_id=203976&release_id=447506

Download and install (using ''rpm -Uvh'') the ''dkms-ibft'', ''dkms-iscsi_sfnet'', ''ibft'', ''linux-iscsi'', and ''mkinitrd-iscsi'' RPMs.

If all has gone well, you should now be able to test loading the iSCSI initiator and iBFT kernel modules using

  modprobe iscsi_sfnet
  modprobe ibft
